Mainstays Emelie 12-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set, White

I purchased a boxed set of these in service for 4 (12 pieces) at the store. I went back later to buy 2 more of each piece for a setting of 6. As a single guy, I like having a little more than bare bones when it comes to dishes and kitchen tools. This set looks stylish, modern, clean form and will go with any decor. Tans, gold colors, silver especially. That large, side salad plate available in side stock is great for a sandwich and salad, since it has a little bit higher rim around it. With matching black chrome flatware from Amazon on a gold placemat is a nice look. These seem to hold up very well in and out of the dishwasher. For the price, you won't find any better ceramic dinnerware.

The Mainstays Darby 12 piece stoneware dinnerware is exactly as des ribed but the blue color is much prettier than pictured on the website. The dishes have a good weight and the surfaces of all bowls and plates are smooth with no blemishes. I have bought other dishes at a higher price with more defects than these. They are very pretty and will look great on my table. I'm very pleased with the quality of this set.
